"It is often said that law is applies
common sense," said a'professor of the
Yale Law school the other day. "While
tt is true that law principles originated
In common sense, the liyw itself is the
combined experience of many men, for
no two men uninstructed in law will
agree as to what is applied common
sense.
“Then there are many rules of law
which undoubtedly have a common
sense origin, but. conditions having
changed, history falls to disclose this
origin. Y’et these very rules must lie
retained in order not to shake personal
*nd property rights. Therefore no man
can depend on his own uninstructed
common sense to know the law.
"Te drive this statement home I have
frequently put to an incoming law
class the question, ‘When does an In
fant becomo~«f qjge T The answer la
always unanimous, 'When he is twen
ty-one years old.’
"The next question appears ridicu
lous to some and makes them laugh,
while others set their alleged common
sense at work and never with correct
result, ‘When Is a man twenty-one
years old?'
“One student says, ‘On bis twenty
first birthday,’ but of course ha does
not mean it, for he Is about a year out
of the way. Another ventures. ‘On,the
twenty-first anniversary of his birth
day.' This sounds-better, but even If
correct is not specific enough. When
he has completed his twenty-first anni
versary.’ 'At the beginning of that day’
and 'On his twenty-first anniversary,
at the precise hour of his birth,’ are
other answers. ’
‘‘And then I surprise the guessers'by
saying that they are all wrong.
‘‘ln comfinting time it is a general
'hUe that the law disregards part of a
day. In applying this rule, suppose a
man was born just one minute before
midnight on Jan. 2. 1.880.
“At midnight he bait lived but one
minute, yet the day on which lie was
born was ended and the law consid
ered him one day old. So in computing
the twenty-one years which a man
must live in order to reach his majori

the day of his birth.
"Non ince we must start with the
first moi: ent of Jan. 2, 1880, it is per
haps uutriral to say that this man did
not become twenty-one years old until
the cl is of Jan. 1. 1901. Mathematic
ally sp<. U ng. this Is true.
’Tweutyrone years in that sense re
quires that the-last moment of Jan. 1,
• UK»I, should have arrived In order to
make the man of age. and obviously
he was of age at that point of time.
But bereJigain the rule is applied,
"As the man was of age on the last
moment of Jam 1, the law disregards
the entire part of the day intervening
bptween the first moment and the last,
and consequently he became In law
twenty-one years old on the first mo
ment of Jan. 1, 1901, the day preceding
the twenty-first anniversary of his
birthday.
"This rule Is a part of what is known
as the common law and is applied In
this country In all states where the
common law of England has been
adopted and remains unchanged by
statute. A man may rote or make a
valid will on the day preceding the
twenty-first anniversary of his birth
day, although the right In the one case
and the capacity In the other are given
only to persons who have reached the
age of twenty-one years.”—New Y’ork

Had Time to Kill.
‘‘Never kill nn animal that is losing
flesh” is n maxim followed by butch
ers. and observation points to a logical
reason for the saying. With an ani
mal failing In flesh the muscle fibers
are shrinking in volume and contain
correspondingly less water. As a con
sequence the meat Is tougher and
drier. When nn animal is gaining in
flesh the opposite condition obtains and
a better quality of meat is the result.
Also n better product will be obtained
from an animai in only medium flesh,
but gaining rapidly, than from a very
fat animal that Is at a standstill or Ins
tog in flesh.

Drafters have made a unf recoil in
the Chicago market A load of Idwa
heavy horoM averaging something less
than 2,000 pounds was recently dispos

$350 was made on the lot of twenty
head. This la about $35 more than the
best average ever before paid In the
Chicago market for a similar number.

He Walken Far Too Far.
In a hotel In Berlin there is a Bight
watchman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted a few years ago
requiring him to go through the hotel
at certain hours and touch an electric
button fixed up In various places. Aft
er much thought he fixed up an 'auto
matic arrangement on several of the
buttons so that they would report nt
certain hours. Soon the button system
got so out of order that the manage
ment abolished - if. It was found nec
essary to keep Watch in some way on
the man. however, nnd finally a pedom
eter was given film to carry on his
rounds which would register every
step ho took. All went well the first
two nights thereafter, but on the morn
ing following the third night the old
man was missing. On search being
made he was found sound asleep in
the engine room, and the pedometer so
attached to the piston rod of the en
gine that with every stroke It regis
tered a step. It bad been traveling all
night, and when taken off It registered
212 miles.—Berlin Gazette.

Many persons arc debarred from din
ing out owing to their liability to con
tract hiccough during a meal. As a
rule when caused by food it comes on
at «nce, and equally as a rule the food
causing it is hot. Soups are more like
ly to provoke hiccough than solids are.
It is a good plan Io forego soup, which
can be done without causing remark,
says Home Notes. Or one may eat a
little bread 'sfor<> taking it. A third
plan Is to drlhk a little cold water and
to take the soup in very small sips,

There are certain nations that have
the quality of vulgarity strongly In the
blood, nnd indeed it seems to testify
to a strong nnd full blooded vitality, a
desire for self assertion, and thus we
may expect to find vulgarity dogging
like a shadow the footsteps of strong,
capable and pushing nationalities. But
there are certain nations that have
been accused of many faults that yet
have never been accused of being vul
gar. The Irish are a case In point.
They have been accused of levity, of
undue conviviality, of frivolity, of a
tendency to romance, of untrustworthi
ness, of Irresponsibility, but they have
never been accused of vulgarity. There
Ues deep in the Celtic temperament a
rich vein of emotion, a strong relish for
the melancholy side of life. It Is on this
that their incomparable sense of humor
is based, and it mny be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy,
who luxuriates In the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per
formances of humanity, is in any dan
ger of vulgarity, for one of the essen
tial components of vulgarity Is a com
placent self satisfaction, nnd If a man
is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what Is there is but little room for
complacency.—A. C. Benson In Atlantic.

“Now, Tommy,” said the hoy’s
mother, giving him final instructions,
“you must remember how to behave
at the party. If you’re asked to have
something ^nd you want it you must
say ‘Yes, thank you.’ and if you don't
want it you must say”—
“You needn’t bother about that part
of it. ma.” interrupted Tommy.
Here Is a knotty problem suggested
by Sir Henry Roscoe in bis autobiogra
phy. Two men argued as to whether
oil or water were the lighter. The first
man contended that the oil must be
lighter, as it floats upon water. And
then the unscientific man triumpheel
with the argument that oil must be the
heavier because It keeps the water
down.

One's admiration for Webster’s

daily as it comes to be better
